Meats

  A microwave egg poacher offers conveniently shaped burrows that allow for the ease of cooking meats such as hamburger patties, ham slices and even bacon. The inner side of the egg poacher's lid ordinarily displays "grill" like textures for holding bacon during microwave cooking. The dips in which the eggs normally sit can contain shaped meat patties for a quick dinner of two cheeseburgers. Other meats such as chicken, can be cut up into cubes to be placed in one of the dips of the egg poacher to be cooked.
  
  

Breads

• Quick breads such as muffins, cakes and biscuits cook briefly within the inner dips of a microwave egg poacher. A beat mixture of 1 cup self-rising flour, 1 cup buttermilk, 2 tbsp. shortening and 3 tbsp. of cinnamon and sugar fits within two of the dips of a microwave egg poacher. This makes two super fluffy and sweet cinnamon biscuits, which taste delicious with a drizzle of cream cheese frosting.
  
  Adding a premade frozen dough ball to each dip of the microwave egg poacher provides you with a quick way to prepare soft and fluffy dinner rolls. Simply microwave the dough balls on high for three minutes, and allow the poacher to stay closed so as to finish cooking the rolls with steam.
  
  

Cold Treats

• A microwave egg poacher can also be used to aid in preparing cool and sweet treats. For example, the dips of the egg poacher serve as useful receptacles for dessert gelatin. Pour the gelatin mix into each dip, and refrigerate until they are solid. The individual bowl-shaped gelatin cups can be dropped right into a bowl to be eaten.
  
  No-bake cheesecake for one fits perfectly inside the dips of the microwave egg poacher. Line the bottoms of each dip with a mixture of graham cracker crust and melted butter. Use a store-bought mix of no-bake cheesecake filling to top off the homemade crust and refrigerate the microwave egg poacher until you're ready to eat the single serving cheesecakes.
